Mini bio
How it started.
Shakira grew up in Barranquilla, Colombia, writing and performing from childhood. She signed with Sony at 13 and released her debut album, Magia, in 1991. Pies Descalzos, released in 1995, brought her a wider Spanish-speaking audience.
Finding a worldwide audience.
Laundry Service took her into English-language pop in 2001, with Whenever, Wherever becoming her first US top-ten hit. Her catalog continued to grow through Hips Don’t Lie with Wyclef Jean and Waka Waka, the official song of the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
A new chapter.
Her 2024 album Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran brought together collaborations with Bizarrap, Karol G, Rauw Alejandro, Cardi B and others. It won Best Latin Pop Album at the 2025 Grammys and gave its name to her world tour.
Building beyond the stage.
Through Fundación Pies Descalzos, she supports education in Colombia. She has also served as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador since 2003, advocating for children and early childhood education.
